>>It might not seem like a big deal, but the ability to recognize that the face in the mirror is your own makes us part of a pretty exclusive club in the animal kingdom. Humans obviously can do it (from about 15 months of age), and so can apes, monkeys, dolphins, elephants, and some birds. Now a fish species has passed the mirror test for the first time, which may suggest that the animals are smarter than we give them credit for.<<

All fish can do this. That’s why we can keep fish in glass tanks – they don’t start trying to fight or mate with the walls.

Remember the Mythbusters goldfish memory test. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYibcUYAX4E

If you can’t see the fish fighting itself or mating with the walls, is it really happpening?
